• Turquoise & Indigo
• Indigo & Purple

PICK A TECHNIQUE 

• Mind Map or Brainstorm
• Top Ten List 
• Quote or Lyrics
• Patterns & Doodles
• Alphabet Stamps, Stencil or Invent-a-Font
• Write a Poem/Haiku *or* Use Found Poetry {Cut Words from Magazines}
• Fancy Hand-Lettering Using a Calligraphy Pen, Brush Marker or Fine-Nibbed Marker 

For this page I chose Magenta and Scarlet and the technique is to write a haiku.

A haiku is a japanese poem that is 3 sentences, there are lots of different explanations on how they should be written. I picked the suggestion that it should be a poignant experience and it should have 2 juxtaposed ideas. There is a also a suggestion that it should have a 5-7-5 word limit but I have not managed to do that.

For the base colours I used derwent inktense blocks. I then used a mix of memento, distress and stampin up inks.

I used a range of background stamps and alphabet stamps for the words.

Hope you are all finding time to craft!
